The Cellar: Penfolds was founded by Christopher Rawson Penfold, a young English doctor firmly convinced of the healing properties of wine who, before leaving Great Britain to emigrate to Australia, procured cuttings from the south of France. The small vines were planted near the cottage that Penfold himself built, together with his wife, in 1845 in Adelaide. Until the second half of the 20th century, the Penfolds winery produced almost exclusively brandies and fortified wines, such as Port or Sherry, used for healing purposes. Towards the middle of the last century, in 1950 to be precise, as a function of changing consumer tastes, the production of table wine began to increase. Among the rows, there is maximum respect for the environment, for nature and for the ecosystem, so the grapes that come to be harvested are all valuable, pure and concentrated in all their organoleptic nuances. In the cellar, from destemming to pressing, from fermentation to aging, from bottling to refinement, each production step is constantly and scrupulously monitored, in order to always guarantee the highest possible level of quality.
